TestDriver

deltalima, Thank you very much for replying. Unfortunately, I'm now out traveling for work and won't be back til the weekend. In the meantime, I did some research and thought to try combofix. It installed the recovery console and went through a lot of processes but seemed to get stuck somewhere. After about an hour of waiting, I just shut it down. After restarting, Malwarebytes was able to load, update and run a quick scan. It found some 30 infections. I was not there for the final tally since I had to leave my neighbor's house. I've been talking him through this over the phone and he's making progress. He reports the pop ups are gone and the computer is acting fine though his browsing is slow. I had him run a thorough scan and he's now waiting on the final outcome of that. Before I left his house, I uninstalled combofix. I hope my haste does not produce further problems for him but, he was in a tight spot and needs his computer for work. When I return, I'll post the final outcome or ask for further help. Thanks again.

Hello, I'm trying to get my neighbor's computer going again. He got a pretty good infection of something or other. My usual tricks of renaming Malwarebytes and the like have not worked. There is no tdssserv.sys on his non-plug and play drivers. Here is the HJT log from his computer: Logfile of Trend Micro HijackThis v2.0.2 Scan saved at 8:28:01 PM, on 3/7/2010 Platform: Windows XP SP2 (WinNT 5.01.2600) MSIE: Internet Explorer v7.00 (7.00.6000.16981) Boot mode: Normal Running processes: C:\WINDOWS\System32\smss.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\winlogon.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\services.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\lsass.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\svchost.exe C:\WINDOWS\System32\svchost.exe C:\Program Files\AVG\AVG9\avgchsvx.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\spoolsv.exe C:\WINDOWS\Explorer.EXE C:\Program Files\AVG\AVG9\avgwdsvc.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\svchost.exe C:\Program Files\Java\jre6\bin\jqs.exe C:\WINDOWS\System32\svchost.exe C:\WINDOWS\System32\svchost.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\svchost.exe C:\Documents and Settings\Scott\Local Settings\Application Data\av.exe C:\Program Files\HP\HP Software Update\HPWuSchd2.exe C:\Program Files\Nova Development\Greeting Card Factory Photo Card Maker 2.0\ReminderApp.exe C:\Program Files\Picasa\PicasaMediaDetector.exe C:\Program Files\Java\jre6\bin\jusched.exe C:\Program Files\Messenger\msmsgs.exe C:\Program Files\AVG\AVG9\avgam.exe C:\Program Files\Google\GoogleToolbarNotifier\GoogleToolbarNotifier.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\ctfmon.exe C:\PROGRA~1\Yahoo!\browser\ybrwicon.exe C:\Program Files\HP\Digital Imaging\bin\hpqtra08.exe C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office12\ONENOTEM.EXE C:\PROGRA~1\Yahoo!\browser\ycommon.exe C:\Program Files\HP\Digital Imaging\bin\hpqSTE08.exe C:\Program Files\HP\Digital Imaging\bin\hpqbam08.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\msiexec.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\wuauclt.exe C:\Program Files\HP\Digital Imaging\bin\hpqgpc01.exe C:\Program Files\Trend Micro\HijackThis\HijackThis.exe R0 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Start Page = http://www.yahoo.com/ R1 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Default_Page_URL = http://www.yahoo.com R1 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Default_Search_URL = http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=54896 R1 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Search Page = http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=54896 R0 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Start Page = http://www.yahoo.com R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Window Title = Windows Internet Explorer provided by Yahoo!
